Nestled in a former cinnamon estate, Cinnamon Grove, Cinnamon Care Services’ flagship assisted living facility, has been conceived to deliver the revered standards of elderly care, synonymous with the heritage and culture of Sri Lanka. Fortified by the use of best in class principles and practices, gained through several decades of dementia and geriatric care in the UK and operating to the stringent guidelines of the UK’s Care Quality Commission. The facility is designed to deliver a full suite of elderly care services, catering to discerning individuals who simply wish to retire and indulge in the exceptional levels of service, to those needing a greater quantum of care. The state of the art facility is set in a several acre estate of idyllic greenbelt, surrounded by rubber plantations and cinnamon groves and just 20 minutes from the Colombo interchange of the Southern Expressway. The location was handpicked for its serene and tranquil beauty, with cool morning breezes carrying enchanting bird song and the sweet fragrance of flower blossom, away from the fumes and racket of the city. It has taken over 2 years from concept to launch of this 20 bedroom retreat, testament to the meticulous attention to detail and the administration of the specialist care systems in operation at the facility. The launch of Cinnamon Grove not only heralds a new dawn in the fight against conditions such as Alzheimer’s, but is setting new standards in luxury retirement and reminiscence care available on the Island as we all live longer and longer lives. Cinnamon Care Training operates its training institute for the prestigious City & Guilds International Vocational Qualification (IVQ) in Healthcare on-site in Bandaragama. It is the only institute capable of providing students hands-on work experience in its UK standard processes and techniques.
